FOR 

INTERIOR  AND  EXTERIOR  USE 


||  N presenting  this  catalogue  to  the  trade,  we  aim  to  show  some  of  the  styles  of  capitals  made 
jsA  of  the  proportions  called  for  by  the  principal  orders  of  architecture,  that  we  carry  in  stock  for 
JJL  immediate  shipment. 

In  addition  to  the  styles  shown,  we  have  a large  number  of  models  of  conventional  and 
of  special  design,  which  we  intend  to  illustrate  in  a subsequent  issue. 

We  will  be  pleased  to  quote  prices  promptly  on  special  work  of  this  character  on  receipt  of 
detail  drawing  or  tracing  of  same.  We  are  prepared  to  make  prompt  shipment  from  stock  of  the 
sizes  most  frequently  called  for.  Orders  for  caps  of  unusual  size  will  be  filled  with  the  greatest 
dispatch  consistent  with  gcod  workmanship. 

We  do  not  think  it  necessary  to  enter  into  a detailed  description  of  the  material  used  or  the 
method  of  manufacture,  as  goods  of  this  character  are  now  so  well  known  to  the  trade ; our  stock 
will  be  found  to  be  well  modeled  and  clear  cut  and  of  correct  architectural  design.  Capitals  for 
exterior  use  are  made  of  special  composition  to  resist  the  deteriorating  influence  of  the  weather. 
Our  wood  and  composition  caps  can  be  stained  to  match  any  wood  finish. 

Caps  for  exterior  should  always  be  flashed  on  top  with  lead.  Send  for  prices. 

TERMS. 

1.  We  make  no  charge  for  boxing  or  cartage. 

2.  As  we  pack  goods  with  the  greatest  care,  we  are  not  responsible  for  breakage  or  loss  in  transit, 

our  B/L  being  guarantee  of  good  order  when  shipped,  also  that  number  of  packages  called  for 
were  forwarded.  All  shortage  should  be  noted  on  freight  bill  and  any  damage  or  breakage 
noted  by  agent  on  the  same,  before  payment  is  made.  We  will  help  customers  sustain  damage 
claims  if  fully  informed  as  to  the  loss. 

3.  In  the  absence  of  the  usual  commercial  rating,  send  us  check  or  satisfactory  references  with  your 

first  order,  else  the  order  may  have  to  wait  until  we  determine  what  credit  your  financial 
standing  entitles  you  to. 

4.  Net  cash  30  days  or  2 per  cent,  discount  if  settlement  is  made  10  days  from  date  of  invoice. 

Where  prices  are  made  delivered  freight  charges  are  first  to  be  deducted.
